Steps:
- Break the chocolate into pieces. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently with a spatula. (You can use a metal or heat-proof glass bowl that fits on top of a pot.) Alternatively, you can microwave the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at 20 second intervals, stirring each time until fully melted.
- Take the bowl of chocolate off the heat. Stir in the chopped and whole peanuts. Mix well.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the mold, filling the cavities (only about half way up if you're using the suggested mold below).
- Let the chocolate cool and set for at least 2 hours, until solid.
- When the chocolate bars are solid, carefully remove them from the mold.
- Serve and enjoy! These can be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. If you are giving them as a gift, you can even wrap them in colored foil squares to make them look like legit chocolate bars.

CUBAN SANDWICH
It is generally believed that the Cuban cigar workers who migrated to the Tampa, FL area/Ybor City back in the early 1900's brought the Cuban sandwich to the US. Originally called the "mixto" or mixed sandwich, the Cuban, as it is known today, became a workingman's lunch for those employed in the cigar industry. Note--if you can't get sour oranges in your area, try equal parts of orange and grapefruit juice or 2 parts orange juice to 1 part lemon juice and 1 part lime juice.

Steps:
- To make the Cuban Roast Pork: Mash the garlic and salt together using a mortar/pestle.
- Place the mash mixture in a small bowl; add in oregano, onion, and sour orange juice; mix thoroughly.
- Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat; add in the mash mixture and whisk to blend.
- Remove from heat and set marinade aside.
- Pierce the pork roast with a sharp knife or fork.
- Set aside a small amount of the marinade for use during the roasting period.
- Pour remaining marinade over the pork, cover, and refrigerate 2-3 hours.
- Preheat oven to 325°; remove pork from marinade and place on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Sprinkle reserved marinade over pork.
- Roast until completely cooked and a meat thermometer registers 160° (about 20 minutes per lb).
- Baste occasionally with the pan juices.
- Remove pork from oven and let rest for at least 20 minutes before thinly slicing the meat.
- Bring remaining pan juices to a boil and simmer until juice is reduced by half; use this juice to sprinkle onto the meat in the sandwiches.
- To make the sandwiches: cut the bread into 4 sections, each about 8 inches long; slice these sections in half horizontally; spread butter on the inside of both halves.
- Generously layer sandwiches with filling ingredients in the following order: pickles, roasted pork, ham, and cheese.
- Spread with the optional mustard or mayonnaise if desired.
- Preheat a pancake griddle or large skillet.
- Lightly coat hot griddle or skillet with cooking spray; add in the first sandwich (make sure that your griddle or skillet is not too hot or the crust will burn before the cheese melts).
- Place a heavy iron skillet on top of the sandwich to flatten it (you want to smash the sandwich, compressing the bread to about a third of its original size).
- Grill the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden.
- Repeat the process for each sandwich.
- Slice each sandwich in half diagonally and serve.
- Note--Additions like Genoa salami, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, and onion have become popular in the past forty years but are considered heresy by purists; in the old days, the sandwich was brushed on the outside with a small amount of pork drippings.

CUBAN LUNCH CANDIES
I'm not sure where the name comes from, but these little treats are a snap to make and look really good on a Christmas sweets platter. I got the recipe from my friend Melanie, who brought these to my Christmas baking exchange. Cook time is chill time.

Steps:
- Melt together the peanut butter, butterscotch and chocolate chips in top of double boiler.
- Add crushed potato chips and peanuts.
- Mix together with melted chips.
- Spoon into mini cupcake paper cups.
- (You do not even have to put these into mini muffin pans as they do hold their shape while they are being filled. It is best to put the mini cupcake papers on a plain cookie sheet to make them easier to move before chilling.) Chill until set.
- You can also add ½ cup coconut to melted chips and peanuts.
- To speed up chilling time, pop them into the freezer for a few minutes.

ORIGINAL CUBAN SANDWICH
Steps:
- Cut Cuban bread to desired size, common size is 7 inches. Next, slice open the bread down the middle. On the topside of the bread spread 1-ounce of mustard, evenly across. Then place 4 pickles on top of the mustard. You then place 1 slice of Swiss cheese on top of the pickles. Slice ham to desired thickness, recommended size is 1 1/2 ounces per slice, the thinner the better. Now fold each slice of ham in half and place evenly on bottom of bread. On top of the ham, place slices of roast pork, 1 1/2 ounces per slice. You then join both halves of the sandwich. You are now ready to grill your Cuban sandwich.
- Use a sandwich grill if you have one, a waffle iron if not. Spread butter on top of the bread evenly. Close the grill, smashing the sandwich. Leave sandwich in the grill until top of bread turns to a golden brown, and top is crisp. Approximate time is 4 to 6 minutes. After the sandwich is crispy and the cheese has melted, remove the sandwich carefully and slice it diagonally, from corner to corner. DO NOT USE A MICROWAVE OVEN!
